Default All in the details

I've been following Foose for a long time now. The details are amazing.

Talking

Did anyone notice the pic of them sanding the botttom of the car? It looks like Foose is into cloning his employees. The same two guys are "cloned" to look like six guys are sanding. Charlie from Boyd's being one of them.

There is no question about that! The workmanship, details, and ideas Foose design brings to the plate is as good as it gets. To top it off he is a real nice guy to talk to as well. Very humble IMO.
